One of my new year's resolutions is to stop wasting the resource that is this blog. At least 4 minutes of every day will be reserved for entering tips to save resources. RRR - Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle - shall continue to be the guiding principle of Wasteless Resources.

Today I am picking up items that I know my vacuum won't, before I start vacuuming. I hope this will save me energy while running my 120 VAC/60 Hz/10 Amp vacuum, as well as save me time and frustration because I won't be driving the hose over those same pieces of hair and hay ten times before I eventually bend over to pick it up while the vacuum is running and put it in the hose myself. :D
